I’m a sociologist and a Director of Studies at the Centre européen de sociologie et de science politique, CSE-EHESS in Paris. My research focuses on the sociology of capitalism, the sociology of emotions, the sociology of gender and the sociology of culture. M work explores several significant and thought-provoking themes, such as the influence of capitalism on emotions, the commodification of romance and the meaning of freedom, choice, and individualism in the modern world.

I’m the author of 16 books, and perhaps most recently The End of Love and Explosive Modernity. I have received numerous awards for my work, including the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation's Anneliese Meier Research Award and the EMET Award for Social Sciences. My work is translated into 25 languages.
